Hi, I'm in love with my Nikon Coolpix 5700 when shooting
my favorite subject - car pictures - in daylight. I am
completely dissasified with its flash performance not only
with the puny  Speedlight but also with the excellent

Will it have IS?

It looks like the Konica Minolta Z series, has IS, is 5.1 MP, but it
only takes Memory Stick Pro and does not have a Zeiss lens. The lens
is 2.8-3.7, as opposed to the Panasonic FZ20's constant 2.8. Is this
camera a bit too little, too late, with the undoubtedly high Sony

Hi Cooter.

make, it does so many things in a VERY impressive manner but at high shutter

I commonly use the panorama option of my Nikon CP8700... currently I'm
using either Archsoft Panorama Maker 3.0, or the stitching capability of

Have any of you CP8800 owners out there succeeded in taking a correctly
exposed photograph on a bright sunny day with a shutters speed of 1500 or

weekend by my husband's tiny Sony something-U point-and-shoot!

Hi, Leo.
Just wanted to pass on to you (and any othes lurking on
this) that I confimed the specs and prices for the Nikon
SB-600 and SB-800 Speedlights.

Hi, All.
I'm learning rapidly about the 8800 but it seems that the
more I learn the more questions I have. I printed the full
spec sheets for the 8800 camera, and the SB-600 & 800

I am considering buying an Ultra Zoom ZLR camera. Of the few available
I had finally shortlisted FZ3 and S1. From the many reviews and user
experiances that  I came across it is very clear that both are
excellent cameras and value for money.

please compare all aspects of both the cameras and advice on which to buy.
If a detailed comparision of all the features is done, it would be of great
help to me. This is my first purchase of a digital camera.
